gryhndsr4us Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Clark passed peacefully held in my arms. Clark had a horrible day yesterday and today doesn't look to be any better. He was limping in the morning and seemed depressed. DH said when he got home Clark did not greet him at the door. He gets home about an hour after I leave so he waits a few hours to take the dogs out. He said Clark was limping very bad almost dragging the leg. He gave him two tramadol at 4pm. Clark did not want to go out for their last trip before bed. When I got home at 8:30 pm he didn't greet me either. I gave him two more tramadol. It didn't seem to help much, he was still dragging the leg a bit. He woke me at midnight and I gave him more meds. The only good thing is the meds make him sleepy. I called my vet, he doesn't come in until noon today. I think today may be the day to let him go. I don't think being in a drugged up haize is quality of life.

Guest CDNgreys Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Saying good bye really sucks but watching a cherished family member in pain sucks even more. I kept a calendar of smiley faces and frownie faces when my boy started limping. When the frownie faces started to show up more than the smiley faces I knew my boy couldn't take much more.
